Diversity vis-à-vis Integration: My Dialectical Take on Multiculturalism.

As geopolitics and national politics take center stage in the modern discourse, various

interests are being pushed forward and adopted. According to Kastoryano (2), multiculturalism is

a general term used to refer to societies’ interactions and experiences across languages, cultures,

and geographical borders. In addition, multiculturalism encompasses the interaction of different

thoughts, stances, and emotions that people or societies face when adapting to live in the current

competitive and fast-paced world.

After the colonial period, people and societies have freely migrated and integrated with

other societies and culture. Therefore, multiculturalism will always be at the center stage of geo

and national discourse. Globally, each person is impacted by multicultural diversity in cases

where different cultures come to live together. The modern day way of conducting business is

also highly influenced by multicultural diversity and integration. Multiculturalism can determine

whether or not a business flourish or whether a business person maintain their businesses

satisfactorily.

People have found different ways of living, satisfying their needs, and definition of living

a good life. However, the common goal of a great number of people is to excel in life. The move

has created a greater need for diversity, interaction, and integration. People are migrating in huge

numbers for the perceived greener pastures elsewhere in the world. Therefore, this movement,

whether legal or illegal has resulted in interactions of more people who have different cultures,

religions, ethnicities, identities, and beliefs. The broader multicultural paradigm evaluates the

way these divers group of cultures integrate.

Diversity refers to a wide range of people with varied racial, ethnic, social, and cultural

backgrounds as well as distinct life experiences, perspectives, and interests. The agency is

represented by a variety of people and viewpoints. Diversity is a group of distinctive people who

live in the same area. Considerations of race, gender, and sexual orientation are common.

Although not the only topics relating to diversity, these are the ones that receive the most

attention. Even within those three groupings, there is not much variability. Diversity has a wide

range of benefits and drawbacks. People assume that a person of a different race will be like

everyone else of that race. It can be challenging for other races to accept a Black person acting

like a White person rather than a Hip Hopper or a Gang Member, for instance.

People have a rapid judgmental nature and do not accept what they do not observe in a

race. I think there is no way for a certain race to act. If you want to seem "white" and be smart

while being black, you can accomplish that. I do not believe it is the place of anybody or any

race to dictate how they ought to react to someone or any other race. People of all races affect

how other races view them now, which is one of their most striking virtues. Although there are

still considerable numbers of white individuals in high-level jobs, there are now significant

numbers of black and white, Chinese, Spanish, and many other ethnicities as well (Barack, 12).

Due to the perception of black people as an innately inferior people and a race that needed to be

controlled, there would not have been a black president of the United States like Barack Obama.

comprehend the demands of more diversified markets, whether you are a provider of goods or

services. We are living in history's most complicated, multicultural period.

The chance for other races to prove they are more resilient would be more amazing as the

cosmos evolved farther. Regarding gender, there are still some males who think that working

outside the home or while driving is inappropriate for a woman (Kirmayer, 20). Some women

think they are capable of whatever a man is. Women are sometimes criticized for not being

strong enough, intelligent enough, or for being born the wrong sex as they steadily advance in

their careers. Female CEOs, well-known business executives, and firemen. There are also some

guys who hold positions that were previously thought to be exclusive for women. Some people

choose to stay at home with their spouses, clerks, nurses, or even single fathers who serve as

some children's primary caregivers, teachers, and role models.

Moreover, one of the least discussed subjects in contemporary culture is sexual identity.

Persons of various races and ages in the modern world raise topics such as homosexual marriage,

transgender people, and gender queer people. This is one of the least restrictive topics in terms of

variety, in my opinion. Gay and bisexual couples may legally wed in Oregon up until a few years

ago (Verkuyten and Kumar, 4). In my opinion, everyone should be free to love, marry, identify,

and practice their preferred religion or philosophy.

I am not yet persuaded that integrating individuals into how they choose to live has

benefits. People need camaraderie, enthusiasm, and the freedom to want what they want. For the

majority of civilizations, the idea of altering their variety is purposefully not all that appealing. If

diversity means what it claims to imply, it implies that an integral aspect of a culture is accepted.

To put it another way, this openness and acceptance also includes the acceptance of fascists, arm

nuts, people who lead hazardous lifestyles, and tea parties, not to mention deadbeats and loafers.

There are very few individuals who would want to accept new players who are uninteresting,

constrained, and primarily unpleasant. However, due to tolerance for many viewpoints,

individuals with such attributes do exist.
